Hello there!
I am John, I am 29 and live in Nottinghamshire, kind of. I actually live in Wiltshire at the moment, however I am moving back up north (Yorkshire lad, born and bred!), probably Nottinghamshire, in a few weeks.
I am new to what I would call proper photography, having dealt exclusively with pocket cameras and smartphones previously. I recently got a Fujifulm HS50 'super-zoom' bridge camera and am hoping to use this as a stepping stone to a DSLR in the near future. A DSLR would be utterly wasted on me at the moment, and if I got one without an auto mode, I would have probably given up through frustration already, the camera would be gathering dust or on eBay!
I am getting married in October and have a wonderful honeymoon planned for a road trip across California and Nevada. My goal is to be able to go out there and take some pictures using manual modes that beat what I would have got on Auto (with minimal trial and error!). Hopefully this forum will prove an invaluable resource in preparing me for it.
Anyway, nice to be aboard, I look forward to absorbing as much information from you all and contributing where possible
Happy snapping
JB
